Verdict

BO DUKE (1) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when he scored over 1m at this track, getting home by 6 metres after leading. Has the benefit of a good draw. Leading hope in this comparable race. ELITE GEORGE (9) ran third last start at this track over 1m, beaten 14 metres. Expect him to be prominent. LINE OF COURAGE (2) was out of the money two starts ago then things went wrong last start when she broke and finished a long last over 1m at Tamworth. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a nice race and can make up for that last start mishap. SIR KNIGHT (3) disappointed last time when ninth over 1 ¹/16m at Penrith. Can make amends.
